| | How to get rid of "Open file - security warning" Hello. I am using 7100 build and I would like to know, how to forever get rid of the "Open file - security warning" dialog. It is of no use and it certainly does not help with security, it just annoys... thanks  |

| | It does help because a program cant automatically launch those file but I agree. It's more annoying than anything. This worked for XP. Haven't tried it on 7 yet but I don't see why they would change it. Edit it as you wish... Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations] "LowRiskFileTypes"=".exe;.bat;.reg;.vbs;" |

| | Do you run a script, batch file or an executable directly from a network share? |

| | No, I want to run the exe files I have downloaded (drivers, instalations...). And they are not in network share. |

| | Hm, does not work for me... and I do not want to disable it for certain files - I want to disable it for ALL files. I do not know what drugs did the programmers used, that they want me to confirm "Yes, I really clicked on that application"  I need to install more than 20 applications and drivers, and I refuse to deal with that retarded security warning EVERY time... |

| | That reg file I posted didn't work? I'll boot into Windows 7 and see what's up. |

| | I tried to manually write it into the registries, but it did'n work... (well I wrote only .exe and .msi, not the others, but it should make no difference) |

| | Just tested it here and it works. It needs a reboot to take effect. I got no warning when using Firefox so I presume you're using IE? Here's how to set it without a reg file. Type gpedit.msc in your run box and navigate to this... |

| | You can also try adding the share to your Intranet sites in IE. That's all I do for stuff in my domain at work and it solves the problem. |
